Healthy ways to brighten up your fall back-to-work attitude: Be in the momentIf
you want to improve your health this fall, simply turn off your phone
and pay attention to your child or adolescent. If they are happy, you
will be happy and if you are happy your health will be so much better.
And the best way to promote resilience in kids is to effectively
communicate with them. They need to feel that you are present and that you are fully engaged and actively listening to them.
Make it easy and incorporate that time while taking them to school, at
the dinner table or at bedtime. This will allow you to focus your energy
and attention on your child or teenager and then afterward you can
refocus on your work without worrying about them. With the click of an
off button, such a simple act can have a huge impact on your family. You
will strengthen your bond and will create a relationship based on trust
and openness, which in turn will help shape your child’s future
relationships. “Powering off” will pay off when you see your kid
flourish.Dr. Peter Szatmari, Chief of the Child and Youth Mental
Health Collaborative between CAMH, the Hospital for Sick Children and
the University of Toronto, as featured in The Globe and Mail.
